Abstract
Use of extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) to prevent and/or remove bacterial biofilm formation is rather a new research area. However the technique is becoming popular as the conventional methods such as antimicrobial surfaces, quorum-sensing and usage of phage are mostly insufficient. In this work, 1Â mT-50Â Hz and 100Â Hz magnetic fields are applied on bacterial biofilm produced locally in our MOBGAM laboratory and found reasonable level of success of its removal.
